Today is July 1st. We are half way through the year. Where are you in your journey to fitness? Studies show that every new year people have their resolutions made and by March most of them have quit. If you always do what you always did then you always get what you always got. So if you want to be healthy, more active and look good, then why aren't you doing what you need to do to get there? Change IS hard. Yes, I will admit that. It really is hard to change. But you don't have to change your life all at once. Make little changes. Take baby steps. Add a fruit everyday. Add a new vegetable every week. Go to that Zumba class, then go again next week. Just get started and eventually you will find you have made that change. Now that isn't so hard, is it?

Hi, I'm Julie Parkes and I'm an NSCA Certified Fitness Professional. I have my own business called Parkes Personal Fitness Training where I do in home Personal Training. I am also an AEA Certified Aquatic Exercise professional and teach Water Exercise at the Clark County Family YMCA. I specialize in working with people 50 years old and older, have injuries, or people wanting to lose weight. Fitness and Health can happen anywhere and at any age. The big thing is to start moving forward and never stop. My passion is to help those who feel uncomfortable in the gym or have never worked out before, to learn that exercise can be fun. I have taken my own journey to lose weight & be healthy. I know how hard it is and what it takes to lose and maintain a weight loss. I graduated June of 2012 with honors from the Clark College Fitness Trainer Program, became an NSCA Certified Personal Trainer in October of 2012 and an AEA Certified Aquatic Fitness Professional March of 2014.
